Stranded In The Desert
Picture the scene: you’ve burnt a million miles on your journey to escape reality. You’re out in the boonies, as far from other humans as you can possibly be. It’s just you, the open road, and your favourite tunes. And then you break down. Featuring artists like: All Them Witches • Black Rebel Motorcycle Club • Eagles Of Death Metal • IDLES • The Kills • Band Of Skulls • Meat Puppets • Mastodon
Glide-Surfing
The Wave Cowboys are calling upon to violently glide through the motions of nature – featuring artists like The Dead Rocks • Lost Acapulco • Laika & The Cosmonauts • Aqualads • The Avalanches • Dick Dale • Messer Chups • Rocky Velvet
Favorites For Feeling Good — a playlist by Matthew McNeal • powered by musicto
Groove-filled tracks that defy genre – featuring artists like Leon Bridges • HAIM The Avett Brothers • Kevin Morby • Spoon • Matthew McNeal • Mac Demarco • Rainbow Kitten Surprise
People – Les Bods
I can’t believe that it has been just short of a year since Les Bods, a band out of Brighton, England, sent me their first single, “People.” I also can’t believe it has been a year since this COVID-19 shitshow began.
Beam Me Up – Gloria
While the band is on the verge of releasing a new LP, Sabbat Matters on March 5, 2021, this track is off of In Excelsis Stereo (2016). And if their new album is as great as this one, then we all have some fantastic tunes to look forward to in our near future.
Sympathy For The Devil – The Rolling Stones
It’s unlikely that anyone needs to be introduced to the Rolling Stones, or to “Sympathy for the Devil,” for that matter. This specific version is from the 50th anniversary edition of Beggars Banquet, originally released in 1968.
Gay Human Bones – Harlem
I was excited when I moved to Tucson, Arizona after attending high school in a Virginia suburb. The desert landscape, colorful homes and alternative music felt so vibrant. Harlem is a garage band that originated in Tucson during this time of my life.
Castigadas En El Granero – Hinds
I first discovered the Madrid rock band Hinds (then known as Deers) while living abroad. My years in Spain were spent teaching English and I was charmed by the talent, style and rebellious nature of the Spanish youth. Hinds is no exception and reminds me of the inspiration that my students constantly gave me.
Goodbye Weekend – Mac Demarco
Choosing to live a less traditional lifestyle is often met with misunderstanding, which many creative people can relate to. This song reinforces my belief in the importance of dismissing these misconceptions.
